Food and exercise are some of the most essential things in my life. But you know what else is really important to me? Breathing. Family. Friends. Music. Animals. Sunlight. Technology. Tea. Sleep. Academics. Comfort. You get the point; there are a lot of things that are important to me, including but not limited to food and exercise.

This article is #TBT at its finest. This is how it all began. Enjoy... As a fitness instructor, I am constantly barraged with questions that associate fitness with “thinness,” by people who fail to recognize that the two are by no means connected.

When I decided to do Embody Carolina, I had no idea. I work at the gym, so I knew that over-exercise was an issue on our campus. I knew I wanted to help. I had an idea of how to help; I would train allies. However, I had no idea how widespread the effects of eating disorders are.  BY SARAH MACLEAN
Don’t get me wrong – I think numbers can be great. They’re often necessary and can be quite informative. I’ve had countless positive experiences with numbers in the past and they’ve helped shape my curiosity. I’ve often gotten strange looks from my friends when I ask questions like, “Do you ever wish there was a tracker somewhere that knew the exact number of times you’ve walked through this very door?” I still think that’d be kind of cool. |
